Field of Windmills

Riding out in the country there are fields of windmills.  I thought this particular image was interesting, so I grabbed a shot of it.  There aren't as many windmills here as there are in other fields, but I like the look of it with the cloudy sky.

Long Abandoned House

On the way to my daughter's house there are two houses that have been abandoned since I've been here.  The other house is to the right of the one in the photo.  

About 2 years ago I noticed that someone had put car doors over one of the windows.  

The other windows and doorway are open to the elements.

Dirt Road

Once in a while I take a ride and go down some roads I've never been on.  This trip took me on a dirt road that went on for.ev.er.  It was a nice day and I wasn't in a hurry to get anywhere, but there wasn't much in the way of photo ops along the way.  

Off in the distance on the left you can see some windmills.

The dirt road provides some area for copy space.

Fireworks

On the way to my daughter's house, just off the highway there are several buildings that sell 

Fireworks for July 4 and New Year's Eve.  

Today I finally forced myself to go on the side road to grab a shot or two of one of the buildings.  In the sky to the right of the building there's space for copy if anyone wants to use the image for that reason.

OPEN sign

There's an antique store along the way to a place I drive to several times a week, and I often think about stopping there to get a photo. Today I did it.

Words of Encouragement

The other day I worked at a venue that had these words on plaques on the wall.

The words are so uplifting.  I've seen them many times before but this time I decided to get a photo of them.

Welcoming Valet

The other night there was a dinner to celebrate the women who come out of prison, turning their hearts toward God to make a new start in life.

 The dinner was held at one of the colleges in town, and there was a valet service for those of us arriving in cars.  I've NEVER had a valet service before and it was a huge pleasure to get out of the car and have someone else find a parking spot for it.  I could get used to it, but it will probably never happen for me again in my life.

The dinner was great and the event was moving.

Fall Decorations at the Y 

This little Fall decoration is seen just outside the door entering the YMCA in Abilene, TX.  

I took the image with my phone, so it's not at sharp as I would like it to be.

It's a nice welcoming display though.
